I bought the Retro Blue Smashbook, because I love the soft blue color on the spine.

I love to use Smash books because there's no right or wrong way to add things to the book. Also I use my scrap paper and that saves me money and its a great way to use my leftovers.

The first two pages are where I share when Coco was born, June 7, 2013 and she weighed 2 pounds and 4 ounces when we got here, so very tiny!

Even now it's fun to look back at the pictures and the list I put together.

Because we have cats, we have lots of cat toys! With Coco being so tiny, she loves cat toys, most of the dog and puppy toys are too big for her! And how Coco loves the stray kitten that we recently brought into our home - they are buds and are never without each other. ﻿

This is a great example of using paper scraps. I have several pages of Heidi Swap Sugar Chic paper scraps and I used my circle punch and cut out lots of circles for this one. Did you notice the pet tag

on this page? When I got it in the mail, it was cracked and the company sent me another one so I glued this one together and saved it for this book.

When I say that Coco is a smaller dog, she really is small. She's a Shorkie which is

Shitz Ysu and Yorkie and will most likely weigh 5 lbs on a good day.

I ordered some fun toys from a great online store, Baxter Boo but they ended

up being too big. Unfortunately these pictures show on my blog darker than they really are

and it was so funny watching Coco trying to lug them around.

This is my most recent pages in the Smash book. Last Monday, Coco

had her first grooming appointment, she was so shaggy and her hair was getting

so long and scruffy.

When I went to pick her up, I couldn't believe this was our same puppy!

So cute and now we can she her face and her body! And I thought

the orange bow was so cute. I made sure to tell my hubby not to

throw her bow out when it fell out, he already knew not to throw it

out.

Next page in the Smash book - Halloween.

Yes, Coco does have an outfit!

In the meantime, I rearranged and reorganized my craft room and began working on some goodie bags made out of envelopes.

We're coming down to the end of the photo-a-day challenge for Planner Addicts Facebook Group.

Today I wanted to share three days in order to finish up the challenge tomorrow.
In October, I'll be concentrating on my Smash book and a birthday banner!

25: Pockets

Inside my Filofax pocket is a space to hold credit cards, gift cards but I use these

pockets to hold clips and some smash post it notes. One thing for sure, this can change weekly depending on what I want to work on while at work.

26: Pen Case
I use this Hello Kitty to tote my pens to work., the little pencil case came from Michaels craft store, I think I paid $2. But I also have a more expensive organizer that I got from Mochi Things and it cost $30.95!

27: Planner Charms
The hubby and I were in Las Vegas in March for a spring vacation and I picked up a couple of charms. This is the perfect size for my Filofax and I remember our trip every day!
